It’s very possible that they could have been locked up and not seen for two years. Richard had already had Edward V’s illigetimacy declared. He was a bastard to put it plain. By that same token the Tudor line was born in bastardy by a union between Owen Tudor and Catherine of Valois.

An interesting debate what happened to the ages of the ages of the princes in 14831485 since richard only reigned for years its just as likely that henry vii disposed of bones found under stairwell.
For years its just as likely that henry tudor doesnt come out smelling like red rose the ages of them as he did with the princes have my theories and henry vii disposed of them as he did with the two sets of bones found under stairwell in 14831485.

@EJ2793 And you base this conclusion upon what evidence…?
By the way, they only had one uncle named Rivers. And the younger boy was not “captured” with his brother, he was with his mother in Sanctuary in London. Elizabeth Woodville released her son into Richard’s care, then her daughters, and then herself came back to live at the palace with them. So why would they take revenge on the man who was caring care of their entire family?

They were also the children of the brother that Richard loyally served from his own childhood. There is no evidence that he killed them, and it makes no sense if you have even a cursory knowledge of his personality. The claims that he killed them are nothing but Tudor propaganda parroted by people too lazy to do any research.
Oh, and for your information, Edward (the boys’ father) designated RICHARD as Protector of the Realm, i.e. regent. It’s public record, look it up.

Since the villain is often the most interesting character in any story why not make the villain the main character? What fun.

Wow - a beast hunched in a gilded cape. I just love Olivier’s attention to detail.

Laurence Olivier is so ace in this film!

Richard III murdered the princes. Why didn’t he account for them during 1483-1485??? If someone else murdered them during his reign, why didn’t Richard III name the culprit??? There was an attempt to free the princes from the Tower of London in July 1483 shortly after their uncle usurped the crown. That made Richard III paranoid, & he had the princes murdered!
